Let me give an example. Let's say you openned your board on Dec 20th. You current post count average would be:
(January 1st - 19th + February 1st - 19th + March 1st - 19th) / 3
Let's use some numbers to make it easier:
(50 + 210 + 315) / 3 = 191.67
Okay, so we have your boards "Month to date" post count average, now compare it to this month: April 1st - 19th - let's say we have 392 posts so far this month.
(392 / 191.67) * 100 = 205.23
Which we round to 205.
This number is the percentage of the orginial, not the percentage increase. In other words, 392 is 205% of 191, but we don't have a 205% increase, because 191 represents 100%. So, we do a tiny bit more math.
205 - 100 = 105%
Your board has an increase of 105% in posts over the average this month so far!
That's how it works.
